Dear Zazie, Here is today’s Lovers’ Chronicle from Mac Tag. Rhett

The Lovers’ Chronicle

Dear Muse,

no, not about me

not even on this day

another day

another year

another decade

this past one

has been

a good one

you were there

at the beginnin’

and you are still here

as constant

as anything

thank you

if i have a wish

this it it

for you

to continue

to be here

another’s woe,
in sorrow too
seek for kind relief

a fallin’ tear
and feel my share

can i see you now,
nor be with longin’ filled

ever can it be
both night and day,
thou canst sigh a sigh

doth give to you
doth feel once more

helluva deal
somehow managed
to Forest Gump my way
through the last 18 years

not worth a damn
at gittin’ through
the day to day stuff
but the all-time
effin-A, heavyweight
champion of the world
at pullin’ out of a crisis

wait, what…
you want me to go
existential on you
can i say no to you,
ask away…

“Do you feel older?”
only when it comes
to romance
i used to have
women chase me
all the time,
playin’ with my curls,
grabbin’ my butt…

i once had a carload
of women pull up
to my pickup,
as i was headed
west on I-10,
and hold up
a piece of paper
with a phone number
written on it

so yeah,
feel old cause
that stuff never
happens anymore

Quotes

Peter Camenzind (1904)

Oh, love isn’t there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure.

That’s the way it is when you love. It makes you suffer, and I have suffered much in the years since. But it matters little that you suffer, so long as you feel alive with a sense of the close bond that connects all living things, so long as love does not die!

Sadness when there should be Joy, hatred when there should be love show compassion because we can be more because we both have scars and pain that no one will ever understand but us so be with me not against me and bring us where we were happy and free.

Gertrude (1910)

Man’s life seems to me like a long, weary night that would be intolerable if there were not occasionally flashes of light, the sudden brightness of which is so comforting and wonderful, that the moments of their appearance cancel out and justify the years of darkness.
